partedUtil and vmkfstools in 5.1

The following examples show how to use partedUtil and vmkfstools to perform vmfs related operations in 5x. I started with two disks (each 8gbs) and followed the lab shown in the Install Configure Manage class that Vmware offers. The goal was never to use the vsphere client nor the web client.

Step 1: One disk did not have a file system, the other did. Hence, I needed to delete the partition in one of those drives to start from scratch.
